Water complexes with organic solvents in liquid phase. An IR spectroscopic study

An IR spectroscopic investigation indicates the formation of water complexes with organic solvents such as hexafluorobenzene, nitromethane, acetonitrile, and carbon tetrachloride. The IR bands in the 3000–2400 cm−1 region can be assigned to OH-stretching vibrations of an H2O molecule in complexes with solvents in the liquid phase.
